The Ten Commandments

Just from simply typing in the word "commandments" into my desktop Bible, I come up with all of these Bible verses.

I find it astonishing that supposed Christians could claim that anyone who believes we must keep the ten commandments must be in a "cult".


Starting with these 3 very basic verses that clearly say because we are under grace, this in no way means that we no longer have to keep the commandments...

It is obvious that too many Christians misunderstand what God's grace is all about and think it nullifies God's commandments.

Rom:3:31: Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Rom:6:2: God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Rom:6:15: What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

1Jn:3:15: Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

Mt:5:19: Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Mt:15:9: But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Mt:19:17: And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Mt:22:40: On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Mk:7:7: Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Mk:10:19: Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

Lk:1:6: And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

Lk:18:20: Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

Jn:14:15: If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Jn:14:21: He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Jn:15:10: If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

1Cor:7:19: Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.


1Thes:4:2: For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

Ti:1:14: Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

1Jn:2:3: And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

1Jn:2:4: He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1Jn:3:22: And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

1Jn:3:24: And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

1Jn:5:2: By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

1Jn:5:3: For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

2Jn:1:6: And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

Rv:12:17: And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Rv:14:12: Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Rv:22:14: Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

 

To come to the conclusion that we no longer have to keep the commandments and that anyone who believes we DO have to keep them must be in a "cult" seems absolutely absurd to me in light of the multitude of Bible verses given to us.

Disguise it as they may... I believe it is an effort to cover up for a secret love of sin.

How could any honest person claim the commandments do no longer matter or that it is some sort of moral option that we have as to whether or not we want to keep them.

 

Nate,

I think we all know which commandments God is referring to in the New Testament

Mk:10:

17: And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

19: Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

 

I'm just wondering why Jesus skipped the first commandment in the verse that you posted. In fact Jesus never says remember to keep the sabbath holy. Also the commandment to not eat Pork is not in the Ten Commandments. I guess my question is how do you decide which OT laws one is to follow? </font>[/QUOTE]Nate,

do you SERIOUSLY think Jesus would need to go through all 10 of the ten commandments in that list?

is it ok to worship idols since Jesus didnt mention that one in that list?

and all you are trying to do with bringing up the dietary issues is to skirt the issue here which is the 10 commandments.

The truth is that when presented to you THIS WAY... point blank... you all KNOW the Bible says to keep the commandments and its a shame how you will try and weasel around this issue.

we arent talking about old testament laws we are talking about the ten commandments...so just stop it
